Use your hearing systems all day long

The best way to ensure better hearing is to prac-

tice listening with your hearing systems until you 

are able to wear them comfortably all day.  

Generally, infrequent use of the hearing system 

does not provide you with the full benefit of 

amplification. 

Your hearing systems will not restore normal 

hearing. Hearing systems will not prevent or 

improve hearing impairment resulting from a 

physiological condition. Hearing systems will 

help you to make better use of your residual 

hearing. 

The use of hearing systems is only part of hear-

ing rehabilitation; auditory training and lip read-

ing instruction may be required as weIl.

Possible side effects

The hearing system or earmold is a custom-

made product. If you are experiencing discom-

fort, see your audiologist or hearing instrument 

dispenser immediately for modification of the 

hearing system or earmold at the point of irrita-

tion. A hearing system or earmold may cause an
